    Hi, I just purchased the Asus K52JC and received it yesterday. Today I noticed that the power adapter brick is making some sort of buzzing noise repeatedly. I was wondering if this is normal or if something wrong is with the part. Thanks for any help.

    Many AC adapters will make a low-volume buzz as part of the transformer function electrical process. This is generally something that shouldn't be audible at greater than 6-12 inches.

    If your experience falls outside of this, contact either your reseller or Asus to discuss a replacement adapter.
